I received my Steam Controller a couple weeks ago. I just happened to check the Steam Controller page today and it let me place a second reservation. It looks like the hold on one reservation per account has been lifted.

    It’s probably going to take some time before you can buy it though. I reserved mine on May 9th, estimation is that I can place my order in December. 😞

        Damn, that’s blazingly fast by comparison! Seeing as I’ll not be able to get my hands on one anytime soon, care to share your experience with it?

          Quite good, so far. To be honest I haven’t got around to game that much so I’m still to try it to its full potential, but I can already say that it’s super nice and comfortable. If I had to I’d certainly wait until December to get it and not get carried away and buy another (like I was tempted to do), unless you need a controller sooner or see another one that you like better, idk.

            Thanks for sharing! I can wait, I’m not in a rush fortunately. We are in the middle of a renovation, so time and energy for gaming is limited anyway. Nice to see you are enjoying it, have fun!

          I half wonder if it’s regional, I reserved mine when that went up and mine showed up a few weeks back, it shipped out of the states though so idk.

          If you have a steamdeck, layout is close but it’s way more comfortable to use the trackpad. Rear buttons are a lot nicer than the ones of the deck. It feels closer to the oled deck stick wise, I have a lcd one which I swear has way farther travel. I haven’t figured out what to do with the grip inputs yet, not super sure how useful they’ll be for me to be honest but cool it’s there.

          Small things and totally software that I appreciated, noticed that the back buttons are one by default with it, maybe that’s across the board now, was a small but appreciated change because I was always having to turn that on. Also like that steam input can ignore trackpad inputs if you’re touching the sticks.

            Could be, I’m living in Europe.

            I don’t own a steamdeck, so I can’t compare it to thay. But sounds good to me from what you are telling. I’ll patiently await my turn to order one.

      Same 😑 stuck using a dumb Microslop keyboard with trackpad to control my media center.
